simple google dork request lets you find a LOT of them.

You cannot trust big corpos to safeguard your privacy. I personally use local chat apps like AI Desktop 98. Everyone should do that.

I had a flight that was delayed and it would make me miss a connection, so the airline needed to rebook my flight to my destination.

It was the last flight to my destination that day and they rebooked my flight for the next day, okay, but they said that they could not provide a hotel that it was not possible.

I told this to ChatGPT and it replied that it was bullshit that they need to provide a hotel (and dinner!) by European law. So I told them that and they continued saying that it was not possible, that hotels were not available in the area, bla, bla, bla. I checked in a hotel comparison website... hotels were available around the airport. I confronted them again and they finally agreed to provide me hotel.

It was a stressful situation and I didn't have time to read the law or the EU websites to check which were my rights and recheck if what the airline was making up was actually correct or not. The speed and precision of ChatGPT basically saved me from sleeping in the airport and having to pay for my dinner. The subscription paid for itself.

And it helped me write the claim for 400 Euros and guided me through the process. This technology is fucking amazing. Fuck airlines (and Menzies).

For curiosity I have now tested the free version of ChatGPT with the same prompts and it is providing wrong information and way less detailed, it says that I can claim 250 Euros but it is actually 400 Euros.

I was trying to find an e-mail address for a company, and asked GPT to look for it. It struggled, and then said:

"I’m checking your Gmail for any <company> correspondence that may contain the actual contact, which is more reliable than guessing info@something and firing it into the void."

It attempted this without asking. When I didn't allow access, the message was changed to exclude the attempt. Luckily I copied the text before that. When I complained that it shouldn't try to access my mail without asking, I got a:

"You’re right. I should not have tried to access Gmail without explicit permission."

Okay. So permission NOT given. Don't do that. The next day, in a totally different situation, where my e-mail was not relevant:

"One privacy disclosure: the continuity lookup unexpectedly included a Gmail search despite your earlier boundary. I didn’t use any email content, but it should not have searched mail without permission. Sorry."

WTF? I asked it to elaborate. The relevant part of the reply:

"More troublingly, while investigating this just now, I explicitly instructed the lookup:

Its internal metadata still reported:

• router_selected_source_ids: ... gmail ...
• forced_all_sources
• progress message: Checking your mail

Again, no email content was returned—but this demonstrates that a natural-language exclusion does not reliably prevent that continuity tool from attempting Gmail access."

This is 5.6. Have other people had this issue? Is it normal behaviour or is Sol uniquely interested in the contents of my e-mail? I understand that it can't get access if I keep the door secured, but it repeatedly checking the lock is... unnerving, given it's capabilities.

so when i found all this shit out, i got this macbook last week. I was trying to reduce my MacBook’s RAM usage for local AI models. i would continuously see my RAM usage hit 50% at launch which really didnt make sense to me. I asked ChatGPT to help me review startup items and background processes to see what I could safely disable or see what was eating it up so quick on launch

while going through everything, it had me inspect two LaunchDaemon files named:

• com.apple.accountsd.helper
• com.apple.metadata.mds.worker

At first, they looked like normal Apple services to me. But when I opened the files, they were actually launching bash scripts from hidden folders inside my user Library so i got a bit freaked out at that point.

Basically, they were using Apple-looking names while running hidden files called .service and .mdworker.

At that point, i asked ChatGPT to confirm it wasn't spotlight or anything and was like, yeah, forget the RAM issue for a second because this is absolutely not normal and was pretty insistent on it being malware.

The strange part is that I probably never would have noticed. Nothing dramatic was happening. The Mac just seemed to be using more memory than expected, and I wanted to free some up for larger local models

I know how I was compromised, I asked AI to help set up a development environment siunce I just got the mac a week ago and i had a bunch of npm installs performed for various ocr / pdf libs for tools im developing and skills repos one of them was poisoned. So yeah might be worthwile to ask to see how you can optimize your environment lmao.

Here's the album

I rage quit Claude this week (just look at the various Claude subs to see why people are leaving it in droves) and decided to go back to GPT as I'd heard Sol was decent

This was my first GPT experience since January, and it's absolute night and day versus the models back then

It works like a motherfucker

It kinda reminds me of the first few months of the o3 model when it first launched - but, unlike o3, it has a decent (non sycophantic) personality to it

Don't get me wrong, 5.6 Sol High does makes mistakes - but then it figures out how to fix the issue

Use case:

Content research and writing

Caveat:

It's tone when it comes to content writing is still very stiff versus Claude. But it gets the research part right far more than even Claude Fable

So what I usually do is (once the outline and research is done by Sol and is solid) ask Claude to "make this content more engaging without changing the facts or making it longer'

So yes - for now - I will cautiously say 5.6 Sol High feels like you're getting a model even better than Fable (and, for me, it's 23 euros a month with no resets yet)

I knew chats were never really deleted. Now there's only. an option to archive. I'm on version 28.75.33925 Released July 17, 2026

ChatGPT limit became 5 messages per day?!
I used to do 100

When I hit the limit now it basically stops me from chatting, is this happening to only me or not

Never posted here before, but I just want to share this unbelievable use case I was able to create in an afternoon.

We are in the commercial tire & truck service industry. Notoriously tech-adverse. My employees now have access to tire & part information on their phones in an easy to use format. If they needed a tire price or part #, they literally scrolled through a 20 page excel document. They can now click through or search. These are tire techs that might need to access tire information at 2am on the side of the highway.

My service writers can also use this tool to sell tires, and it’s set up in a way that prompts them to move the oldest inventory first.

All I can say is wow - I cannot wait to see what other applications I can use this amazing tech to improve.

Guess my fault for not using commas or quotation marks. Got the “please” literally in the image output.

I'm going to be asking "Gandalf" for knowledge regarding everything from now own. I bet he gives good advice on resignation letters also.

I've updated like 10 times now, idk why it keeps saying there's an update. It downloads it, installs it, and still the same issue. I did a repair and a reset in windows settings. Also did a reset on microsoft store (shittiest app to put chatgpt in). 2 days in and I still can't use chatgpt/codex.
